Soldier

Twenty seven years The world had To mold you, to know you What you gave back Was the definition Of conviction and sacrifice So unselfishly Helping free those bound To ensure a better future For complete strangers You gave us a hero A man defined Not by fame or wealth But by honor and devotion It would be a pleasure To shake your hand But that will have to wait Until the hereafter For you laid down your life For your belief In something that So many have died for And will continue to fight for The freedom of your friends, Family, and country
